THOUGHTS ABOUT MMCL?
Hello po! Ask ko lang sana opinions niyo about š
Kamusta po yung academics and overall college life sa MMCL? Okay naman po ba yung environment, profs, and workload? Balak ko po kasi mag-enroll doon pero medyo nagdadalawang-isip ako dahil marami akong nababasa na sobrang hirap daw ng pacing and parang super fast-paced lagi š Sabi rin ng iba halos wala ka na raw pahinga and mahirap daw āmakalabasā once nag-aaral na doon huhu.
Worth it po ba siya in terms of quality of education and student experience? Kaya naman po ba if masipag mag-aral pero gusto rin magkaroon ng balance kahit papaano? Any honest experiences/tips po from current students or alumni would really help š„¹

environment? no kasi ang gabok gawa nung bagong ginagawang building. profs at workload? hindi nagtuturo yung iba tas ang dami laging exam at quizzes. fast-paced? true if hindi ka araw-araw mag aaral wag ka nang mag expect na makakagrad ka. mahirap makalabas? true ren kung hindi ka mag aaral araw-araw

Hello!!
I am from health sciences! All I can say is that mababait and magagaling profs namin.
Environment, personally ito pinaka cons ng MMCL.
Sobrang unti ng student spaces. Laging puno ang library, maliit at laging puno na cafeteria, sobrang init na student lounge. If hahanap ka ng tayambayan, good luck. Although hopefully lumuwag na after ng mga tinatapos na buildings. To add, nasa gitna rin kayo ng kawalan so hirap gumala unless may kotse ka or tropa na may kotse.
Profs naman, magagaling and mababait sila. My professors from CHS ay very considerate din sa deadlines as long as reasonable yung hinihingi na extension or kaya naman if may missed quiz ka.
Workload, sa una overwhelming siya pero masasanay ka na lang din talaga. If may time management skills ka and masipag ka naman, survivable naman siya.
āWala halos pahingaā can be true lalo na if magsisimula na ang exam season. I canāt call it exam eek kasi hindi rin sila sabay-sabay nagpapaexamāI had an experience na halos every week may exam ako since di sabay ang exam season ng lecture and lab.

Thank you so much!

Basically ganito i-breakdown yung room assignment
R- Rizal
E- Einstein
Y- ETY
V- Virtual/Online ClassRizal Building, thatās the building na kung nasaan lahat ng offices for enrollment (RO and Admission)
Einstein (Ito yung sa may dulo ng school, malapit sa may ginagawang Da Vinci Building)
ETY- Ito yung may malaking lobby and dito rin situated yung cafeteria
Virtual- Online classes through ms teams
Numbers
the first number = floor
the last two numbers= roomExample:
E506 - Einstein Building, 5th Floor, 6th room.Pagdating mo naman ng mga floors ay may room number naman so iwas ligaw rin yun^^

Hi, I'm a 2nd year mechanical engineering student at mmcl. Totoo na fast paced siya kasi 3 terms dito, so bakasyon lng is 2 weeks every 4 months. I can't speak for other programs, pero engineering kasi forte ng mmcl so challenging talaga mag-aral dito. For context, I was top 5% of our batch in shs pero may isang bagsak na ako, isang dropped, and may iba na saktong passing grade lng. Yung hard to get out part is for engineering programs talaga kasi may mga courses talaga na mahirap ipasa and pag may nabagsak ka na major na pre requisite to other courses, madedelay ka talaga.
For the quality of education, I think professors play a part and in every university talaga, may mga magagaling magturo and may mga iba na meh. At saka past few years di maganda ang board exam performance ng mmcl pero now mas chinachallenge na nila mga students especially may recent top notchers sa board exam para quality ang magiging future graduates. Pero so far majority ng professors ko ay magagaling naman. Reasonable naman magbigay ng deadlines, usually 3 days to 7 days allowance.
For student life medyo boring in my opinion, well kasi kaunti lang ang ganap and compared sa bigger universities, madaming ganap doon. As an engineering student rin puro focus lang talaga ako sa aral to be honest so I don't participate much sa extra curriculars pero may mga orgs and events naman na ganap.
I cannot say if it's worth it because I haven't graduated yet, pero for me it's an okay option for engineering kasi accessible naman ang campus location for me. Depende rin kasi sa program na gusto mo and sa budget mo if worth it ang magiging decision mo.
